Description

1-(2-Methylphenyl)ethanol (CAS No. 7287-82-3) is a high-purity aromatic alcohol with the molecular formula C₉H₁₂O. This compound, also known as o-Tolyl methylcarbinol, is a valuable intermediate in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical research. Its structure features a hydroxyl group adjacent to a methyl-substituted phenyl ring, making it a versatile building block for chiral synthesis and fine chemical production. Our product is rigorously tested to ensure ≥98% purity (GC), with stringent quality control for moisture, residual solvents, and heavy metals. Supplied in amber glass bottles under inert gas to prevent oxidation, it is ideal for researchers requiring consistent reactivity in Grignard reactions, esterifications, and asymmetric hydrogenations. Available in quantities from 1g to 1kg with customizable packaging for industrial-scale applications.

Application

1-(2-Methylphenyl)ethanol serves as a key chiral precursor in the synthesis of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and agrochemicals. It is employed in asymmetric catalysis to produce enantiomerically pure compounds for pharmaceutical development. Researchers utilize it to study kinetic resolutions and enzyme-mediated esterification reactions due to its sterically hindered secondary alcohol group.
